Easily. Furthermore, basic software such as Fritz have options to announce the moves in a number of languages.
That would actually be a reasonable explanation then. Consider that they were saying he was playing quickly. It would make sense to play quickly using that interface because it would be easy to become distracted and miss the move coming from the machine if it were announced only 1 time. So the most reliable way to make this work is to have the machine play perhaps 5 seconds after the move is sent so that you would be 100% focused on receiving it.
It would also explain why he appeared to be completely focused - not looking up or looking around. He did not want to deal with any potential distractions.
Ear receivers would be detectable by anyone who took a closer look. It could be checked easily. Bionic contact lenses? Too far fetched. Maybe a receiver between his toes? Receiving the move by vibration or electricity. Maybe there could be a even safer place for a small (or even bigger) receiver?

According to one site it's totally invisible although I would have to see that to believe it.

I don't think it's far fetched, but it might not quite be ready for use.

To me that seems like the safest place to go undetected.
The anus. Nobody wants to look there.
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
It is a pity that we cannot use the funny "device" used by IA Angelov in Plovdiv (it's a one-shot device ).
Maybe it was the cause of Ivanov's bad performance, 400 elos under his rating.
For those who aren't aware of Angelov's "device", read the GM Bojkov's letter: http://www.chessvibes.com/dont-panic-on ... d-cheating

He must also transmit his opponent's moves back to the computer somehow, so let us all pray your anus theory is wrong.

Maybe the tournaments are all online? I thought I read that the first time their on-line web site failed to operate correctly he started playing badly. So in all the tournaments where he played super GM strength, were they being transmitted live on the web? I thought that only did that for the top boards or for only the most important tournaments?
Did he have anything with him such as a bag or purse or anything like that?
I think it would be possible for the right kind of detective to solve this mystery of how he does it. It would need to be a high tech detective, not the old fashioned gumshoe type of detective.
